Subject: Problems with MySQL Linux init.d startup 
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 11:11:44 -0800

I am running TurboLinux 3.0.1 with MySQL 3.22.20a.

This is an updated RPM package install=20

mysqld is in:
     /usr/sbin/mysqld
mysql is in:
     /usr/bin/mysql
databases are in:
    /var/lib/mysql/

There is also a directory with some scripts and stuff in:
    /usr/share/mysql/

There is a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql which is linked to =
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98mysql which is what is run at boot time.  It looks =
like a pretty standard stop/start a daemon type thing. =20

The problem is that when the init.d scripts are being executed, the =
mysql dies almost immediately after it starts.
The /var/lib/mysql/vader.pacbell.net.err (hostname.err) file looks like =
this:

mysqld started on  Sat Mar 20 11:53:06 PST 1999
990320 11:53:08  /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/user.frm' =
(errno: 13)
mysqld ended on  Sat Mar 20 11:53:09 PST 1999

Funny thing is, (not knowing where it assumes the current dir is =
exactly) /var/lib/mysql/mysql/usr.frm exists=20

Funnier still is that when I log in as root and run the same script: =
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start, it starts up just fine with the usual 3 =
processes and everything appears normal...  Can anyone tell me what is =
going on here?  How do I stop it from dying at startup?

Thanks=20

Hi!

Pay special attention to the option --datadir=..

It should point out to the roor directory for databases, containing at 
least mysql database.
